On December 3rd, prominent cryptocurrency analyst @IamCryptoWolf took to Platform X with a key market call: If the bull market has concluded, Ethereum (ETH) should struggle to hold above the $3,700 level—identified as the inverse head - and - shoulders (iHS) neckline—marking the end of its recent bounce. Conversely, should the bull run still be in play, ETH is poised to break through $3,700 decisively and surge sharply higher. @IamCryptoWolf first shared his market analysis on TradingView back in 2014. With over 113,000 followers on Platform X, the analyst had previously noted in early November: “Ethereum is set for a correction this month. If it drops below $3,100, a bear market will officially begin.”

December 3 – According to News1, as South Korea’s government and National Assembly draft the second phase of digital asset (virtual asset) legislation, a key direction is limiting stablecoin issuers to consortia of banks holding a 51% stake. The solution currently under discussion would award stablecoin issuance rights to such bank consortia, and the Democratic Party’s Digital Asset Special Task Force (TF) also leans toward this approach. Previously, Korean banks pushed for bank-led stablecoin issuance restricted to the banking system, while some National Assembly members argued the space should be open to fintech and blockchain firms. The government’s draft bill must be submitted by no later than December 10, with the goal of launching formal discussions by the end of this year and finalizing the legislation by January next year.
